I went to Pittsburgh this past weekend to celebrate Meredith’s birthday with her sister and friends. As the weekend approached, I found out that the birthday celebration was going to include me as well! What great people they are :)
The weekend started with an itinerary from Courtney and Justin. It was absolutely hysterical. I knew I would totally get along with them.
So this was my introduction to Pittsburgh. Here is the illustrated version.
As soon as we got to Courtney and Justin’s, there were presents! I got a poncho, skittles, Steelers stuff (ick) and a scratch off lottery ticket! It was so thoughtful.
Of course, Meredith had to try on her poncho.
The next day we painted the town! Meredith and I rode the ‘T’ for the first time.
I was instantly welcomed :)
We went to Primanti’s for lunch. A Pittsburgh staple. Cole slaw and french fries on the sandwich. Courtney and I shared a whole sandwich.
After lunch, we went ice skating! I forgot how much I like to skate. It was so much fun!
After skating, we walked around rainy Pittsburgh. I saw the theatres and the Pirate’s Stadium. It was beautiful. Can’t wait for baseball season to start. We got back on the ‘T’, walked back to the house and took naps. Then we walked to church. Mass was mass. We prayed for the Steelers. And the Packers. And the fans. And the priest because it was his birthday. After mass we walked to Slapshots – where we would be celebrating our birthdays!
As soon as we walked in, the bartender gave us birthday shots. Then ensued 6 hours of meeting new people, dancing, drinking, and fun, fun, fun :)
And that was my weekend in Pittsburgh. It rocked :)
